@chiarthritis: Your rheumatologist says, "It's just arthritis," and doesn't give you suggestions on how to proceed. That's a problem. Understanding the difference between osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis is important. Also understanding the difference between treating inflammation and instability is key. Your physician should be able to treat your osteoarthritis not just your inflammatory arthritis. #arthritis #arthritisrelief #osteoarthritis #rheumatoidarthritis #pain
